: Chapter 16
: Indy grabbed his whip, gun, and firmly put on his hat. He just pulled on his jacket when Michael and Shorty came in.
: ėWhereís the fire, Dad?î Michael asked.
: ėNo time to explain. Just come on!î Indy said.
: They piled into the rented car they had gotten, with Shorty at the wheel, ėWhere to, Doctor Jones?î
: ėGo straight out into the country, by Stonehenge,î Indy said.
: Eric and Michael looked at each other and then looked at Indy, ėDad,î Eric asked, ėWhere are we going?î
: ėTo pay a visit,î Indy replied, ėWith a friend of mine.î
: ----
: Lauren and Anthony looked over the material as Anthony said,
: ėThis is impossible, Lauren. Do you actually believe Excalibur exists?î
: ėOur lives are at stake,î Lauren replied, ėItís existence is vital,î as she reread the material.
: ėBut the sword is claimed to be buried with King Arthur. And we donít know where he is buried.î
: ėIt says right here,î pointing to the page, ėHis body with Excalibur was buried to sea.î
: ėYou mean into the Atlantic? Thatís thousands and thousands miles of the ocean! Weíd be better off finding Titanic!î
: Lauren smiled and said, ėThereís another body of water where the sword can be.î
: Anthonyís eyes widened and said, ėYou donít mean the Lady of the Lake?î
: ėThatís exactly where I believe Arthurís body is kept as well as Excalibur,î she said, ėBut first we have to get out of here,î looking out for a way to escape.

: Chapter 17
: The Joneses and Short Round approached a medieval castle on the outskirts of Stonehenge. Indy pulled on the rope to ring the bell as Eric asked,
: ėDad, who lives here?î
: The butler opened the door before Indy could reply, ėMay I help you?î the butler asked.
: ėI would like to see Thomas Raleigh,î Indy commanded, ėItís a matter of life and death.î
: The butler ushered them in as Michael said, ėTom Raleigh? The professor from Barnett?î
: ėHis parents are Lord and Lady Raleigh,î Indy replied, ėHe is the only heir to Raleigh estate.î
: ėDoes Lauren know?î Eric asked.
: ėNo,î Indy said, ėAnd youíre not going to tell her. Tom made me promise not to say anything to her until he was ready to tell her.î
: Tom showed up a moment later, ėDr. Jones!î looking pleased, ėAnd Eric and Michael. What brings you to England?î
: ėItís complicated,î Indy said, ėThis is my friend Mr. Round.î
: ėShort Round,î Shorty said defiantly.
: ėWhatís going on?î as he looked from Indy to Shorty, ėAnd whereís Lauren?î
: ėSheís exactly why weíre here,î Eric said, ėSheís been kidnapped off the London streets with Anthony Brody.î
: ėBrody?î Tom said in surprise, ėIsnít he related to your old friend, Marcus?î
: ėHeís his great-uncle,î Indy said, ėNow Tom the reason weíre hereÖî
: ėIs to know about Excalibur!î Michael exclaimed, getting the hint.
: ėExcalibur?î Tom said, ėBut Dr. Jones, youíre a forthmost archeologist. You should know everything about Excalibur.î
: ėExactly,î smiling at Tom, ėAnd we know that the legendary Lady of the Lake is on your grounds.î

: ---
: Lauren and Anthony looked around for a way out. ėLauren, itís pointless,î he said, ėThey're brick walls. We need a jackhammer or something to get out.î
: Lauren had an idea and banged on the door, ėHelp! Please!î
: ėQuiet in there,î the guard yelled.
: ėPlease, sir. Thereís a huge rat in here,î doing her best shrilling voice, ėAnd it bit Mr. Brody in here. It might be poisonous.î
: The guard sighed as Lauren stood at the side of the door and mouthed to Anthony, ėPretend youíre dying of agony.î
: Anthony listened and held onto his leg as the guard came in, ėNow what seems to be the troubleÖî
: Lauren kicked the guard unto the ground. The guard turned around to charge at her and she kicked him. The guard went flying into the wall and slumped unconscious.
: ėNice work,î Anthony said as Lauren went to retrieve the guardís gun and keys.
: ėThanks,î smiling, ėNow letís go,î as she peered out into the hallway.
: ėWait a minute,î Anthony said as he switched clothes with the guard, ėWe wonít get passed the other guards by just walking out of here.î
: ėGood thinking,î as Anthony changed and then held onto Laurenís arm, ėWeíre going to have to pretend that Iím taking you to Joey.î
: Lauren nodded as they walked down the corridor. They then heard Joeyís voice, ėBring me the girl! Now!î
: Anthony and Lauren frantically looked for a way out as they heard, ėCome here. Inside quickly.î
: They followed the voice and saw an old man, ėThis way. I will get you out,î as he opened a door.
: Reluctantly, they followed the man into the room. He pointed to the doorway at the end; ėIt leads outside.î
: ėBut who areÖî Lauren started to ask.
: ėPlease no questions. Go!î the man said.
: ėCome on, Lauren,î Anthony said as they went through the door. As soon as they were in, the doorway and the man disappeared.
